Discover Russia

Russian Northern Lights can be seen from the end of August until April. You will have more chances to catch it in winter as there are 42 days of polar night on the peninsula. So, the period of darkness is quite long and there will be more time to observe Aurora Borealis. In Russia, there are many places for observation. The Arctic Circle crosses a large part of the country, and the nighttime light show can be seen from Karelia to Chukotka. Sometimes, even St. Petersburg residents can see the magic Northern Lights.
